Twin Oaks can send a speaker to your location, tailoring our presentation to the needs of your class. We’ve done everything from a half hour-long overview of the community, to a three-hour discussion on gender. We have both traditional slides and digital pictures (we can also draw on chalkboards). We are comfortable speaking in many different settings: academic classrooms, informal round-table discussions, lectures to thousands in huge auditoriums… we can do it all.
